Translation - EnglishOne of the most common conditions having a negative impact on male health is crytorchidism. It is no coincidence that we are conducting this conversation in the pages of a journal devoted to diabetes. Recent studies demonstrate a correlation between these seemingly unrelated conditions. Translated from the Greek, cryptorchidism refers to a “hidden” or “obscured testicle.” A long known condition, crytorchidism is, therefore, characterized by the absence of one or both testes in the scrotum. Historians surmise that the ancient Mongolian emperor Genghis Khan suffered with the malady. Researcher John Hunter provided the first detailed description of cryptorchidism in the 18th century. Since that time, an intensive search has been conducted in pursuit of its etiology and effective treatment. Despite two centuries of research, however, the bulk of questions pertaining to this condition remain unanswered. Interest in the condition is generated largely by its high frequency of occurrence. It has been established that this particular pathology of the genitourinary system affects 5% of full-term males. The incidence is even higher among premature males. According to research statistics, 50-100% of premature males are affected by this condition.

Translation - EnglishAdditional clinical phenomena observed in patients with diabetic autonomic neuropathy include episodes of sleep apnea and, more rarely, involuntary attacks of asphyxia (stridor, cluster breathing).
When cardiovascular reflexes are compromised, such ventilation disturbances become dangerous and are presumably a potential cause of sudden unexplained death in the case of diabetics.
The most severe presentation of diabetic autonomic neuropathy is sudden death. Potential causes and mechanisms of sudden death include cardiac rhythm disruptions, painless myocardial infarction, sleep apnea, cardiorespiratory arrest, left ventricular dysfunction, severe orthostatic hypotension and asymptomatic hypoglycemia.
The absence of pain accompanying myocardial infarction impedes timely diagnosis, delaying urgently needed medical attention. For this reason, patients must be made aware of the need to seek immediate medical attention in the event that they experience atypical or mystifying symptoms.
Suspicion of myocardial infarction is aroused by the following: the presence of chest pain of any intensity or localization, mental confusion, weakness, cardiac rhythm disruption, nausea, vomiting, profuse perspiration, and dyspnea. Patients with cardiovascular neuropathy are also at an increased risk for stroke.
Patients belonging to the defined risk group should undergo regular cardiovascular testing and exercise stress tests.

Translation - EnglishBecause Type 1 Diabetes is a chronic condition, its effective treatment requires significant know-how and patience. Failure to restore healthy metabolism can seriously impede the function of various organs (eyes, kidneys, liver) and systems (nervous and cardiovascular) vital to overall health. In order to avoid severe diabetic complications, proper treatment is essential from disease onset. Basic treatment measures include insulin shots and diet. Neither diet nor insulin alone—nor any other single form of treatment for that matter—is sufficient to address the metabolic disturbance inherent to diabetes. All aspects of treatment—including physical exercise—must work together in combination to produce effective treatment results.
